More Conferencing, Less Carbon

Join us for a panel discussion on innovative ways UAlberta researchers are trying to reduce their carbon footprints while still advancing their academic careers.

March 20, 2018

Join us for a panel discussion March 29th in Arts 3-26 at noon (bring your lunch) on innovative ways UAlberta researchers are trying to reduce their carbon footprints while still advancing their academic careers. In the spirit of e-conferencing, the discussion will be broadcast live on the KIAS youtube channel so if you can't make it to the Arts Senate chambers for the event please tune in online.

We'll also be releasing our new 'Moving Ideas without Moving People' e-conferencing toolkit at the event for helping you learn more about planning an e-conferencing event.

Also, please feel free to use the hashtag #uabmoveideas on Twitter for any comments or questions on the panel today.

Learn how you can reduce your costs and your carbon emissions by trying out new alternatives to the academic conference. In the spirit of Earth Hour and going beyond the hour, this short lunch-hour panel will share some innovations developed by University of Alberta colleagues.

Carla Peck (Education) and Christie Schultz (Extension) will share their own innovative ways to communicate research with a lower carbon footprint.

Trevor Chow-Fraser (Office of Sustainability) will share a toolkit to help you try out an e-conference at the University of Alberta.
